So many sinus and allergy patients already this year!

Spring has sprung, and that means your seasonal allergies might be here, too. Here are a few of the best natural remedies for allergies:
1️⃣ Limit exposure to allergens
2️⃣ Cover up to keep pollen and allergen particles from getting into your eyes and hair
3️⃣ Wash off as soon as you come in from outside to rinse lingering allergens out of your hair and off your skin
4️⃣ Tweak your workout routine to incorporate more low-impact exercises when your allergies are running rampant
5️⃣ Keep the air inside your home clean by keeping your doors and windows closed. Filters and air purifiers can help, too.
6️⃣ Use a nasal rinse to flush mucus and irritants out of your nose and reduce congestion
7️⃣ Try acupuncture

The Mukaino Method was developed by Dr. Mukaino in Fukuoka Japan. It's a simple diagnostic and treatment protocol that provides the practitioner with a comprehensive overview of the patient’s body, quickly illuminating areas of pain, imbalance, and restriction by assessing the quality of movement with the potential of immediately resolving them.
 
Acupuncture points are tested by repeating the identified impaired movements while selected points are gently stimulated along the affected meridians to see whether they improver the ranges of movement.
 
By focusing on movement (including pain and range of motion), practitioners develop a common language that can be understood across medical disciplines but most importantly of all is implicitly understood by the patient.

Some of my favorite tools, and probably the most surprising to my patients, aren't needles! Acupressure is so effective with pain management. It's not always necessary to puncture the skin in order to affect the nervous system and I've found some pretty fun tools over the years!

Sadness dissolves Qi and affects the lungs. Sadness can manifest physically in the body as breathlessness, tiredness, depression and crying. This can lead to blood deficiency in the body and in women may cause amenorrhea or the absence of a monthly menstrual cycle.

What is it?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is light touch massage that encourages the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissue to be filtered out through the circulatory system. 

How does it work?
MLD reduces swelling and inflammation by promoting the drainage of the lymph through the superficial tissues such as fascia as well as the deeper systems of the lymphatic vessels. 

What are the benefits?
Benefits of MLD include reduced swelling and inflammation with mild pain relief. 

What does MLD treat?

Chronic and acute edema
Post surgery edema
Rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammatory diseases such as Fibromyalgia 
Head and neck injuries such as whiplash
Migraines and other headaches
PTSD and other anxiety disorders

Pain. It's one of the things everyone can agree on, Western and Eastern, that acupuncture is REALLY good at. Pain of any kind! That's why every single point we learn is an ACAP. Activate the Channel and Alleviate Pain.
Pain is something that I can treat from infant to geriatric and help improve their lives just the same. Pain is also one of the only things insurance will pay for. Can I fix pain in one session? Sometimes, yes! If the pain onset was relatively acute and tissue damage is minor, but one thing insurance companies also agree on is that it usually takes TIME to correct these injuries. Insurance companies will give us 6-24 treatments to track patterns and connect the dots (quite literally!)
How many treatments one person needs is determined by several factors. How old the injury is, how much tissue was affected by the injury, if there were previous injuries and if what is causing your pain is an ongoing repetative movement that needs to be corrected and rehabilitated will all be factored in to determine your treatment plan. Once you as the patient get to a place where you feel you can manage your pain at home with daily routines and/or herbs, your treatment becomes a maintenance treatment where you come in as often as you like or feel necessary. Body tune ups and check ins from yours truly!
